NotesHarry: Harry's sister, Ida, tells us: Harry joined the Marines in 1932 for one hitch. When his father quit his job with Kern County, California he replaced him as a truck driver. When a new supervisor was elected, he lost his job and moved to Salinas. He lived the rest of his life in that area, driving trucks. During WWII he went back in to the Marines for a short time but had to get a dependency discharge because he had 3 children and was expecting another one and the service had no allowances at that time for taking care of them. But he was always a Marine at heart. SourcesHarry: Birth and Death from the Social Security Death Index Catherine: Birth and Death from California Deaths, 1940 - 1997. Eileen, Kathleen, Noreen & Maurine: Full names and Births from California Birth Records, 1905 - 1995 [RootsWeb]. What's In A Name?Part of the fun of genealogy is to observe the naming schemes parents use for their children. This family could be termed the "keen kids" since all their names end in "-een".
